Students compete for community

Like many KU students, Kalii Kuaper spends her Friday afternoons seeking release from the week's stress.
But now Kuaper, a Salina junior and Watkins Scholarship Hall resident, is spending her time doing community service that not only helps her relax and have fun, but also earns valuable Rock Chalk Revenue points for her hall.
Kuaper spends two hours every Friday afternoon participating in Kindergarten Readiness, a program that involves spending time with preschoolers and teaching them basic skills, such as reading.
"I enjoy interacting with children, especially since you don't see so many around campus,"
Kuaper said. The hours that she spends with children may also help Watkins Hall win a community service award at the Rock Chalk Revue Award Presentation.
Bronze, silver and gold awards will be given to the organizations with the greater number of community service hours during the Rock Chalk Revue Award Presentation on Saturday, March 10. The organizations participating, primarily Greek chapters and residence and scholarship halls, have been working toward that goal since the beginning of the academic year.
Ed Healy, Rock Chalk Revue community service coordinator and Beta Theta Pi fraternity member, said the main focus of Rock Chalk Revue was community service.
"It creates friendly competition and fuels participation in community service," said Healy, Keene, N.H., junior.
Most students are working on programs sponsored by the United Way of Douglas County, an organization that brings nonprofit agencies and volunteers together.
Michelle Heller, manager of Roger Hill, a volunteer center serving the United Way, said KU students had supported community service projects.
Chapters and halls are involved in projects such as the Boys and Girls Club, a campus blood drive and Habitat for Humanity.
Kuaper said interacting with *children had helped her realize things about herself.
"It has helped me put my life into perspective," Kuaper said.

Protein diets may be hazardous to health

Gabe Mervoch, Wichita junior, was surprised he lost 10 pounds on a high-protein diet. But he said he wasn't aware of the health risks associated with such diets.
Randall Rock, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said a highprotein diet — also called the Atkins diet — was gaining popularity among young people.
--workouts," he said.
"These protein diets are a nationwide trend," he said. "We see a lot of students who are considering these diets."
Paul Sandburg, personal trainer at Sixth Street Fitness, 2500 W. Sixth St., said high-protein diets such as the Atkins diet consisted of exclusively high-protein foods — such as meat and chicken — and few carbohydrates.
"High-protein diets are not healthy," Sandburg said. "When someone is on a high-protein diet, they are using proteins instead of carbohydrates for energy. This causes problems because your body is not getting enough carbohydrates and, as a result, this can cause liver damage."
Mervoch quit the Atkins diet after a month.
"I found it hard to stay on the Atkins diet because I had low energy in my
Sandburg said this was a common complaint from people on protein diets.
"These fad diets can cause health problems to your kidneys and liver. They also cause low energy in your workouts," he said. "I often stress to my clients to follow a healthy diet which consists of an equal balance of carbohydrates and proteins."
Mervco said he got better results by following such a balanced diet.
"This diet helps me to maintain the weight I want and continue to have high energy," he said. "The Atkins diet caused my weight to fluctuate, while this diet helps me maintain my ideal
weight consistently."
However, Brent Anderson, manager at Sixth Street Fitness, said protein diets continued to be a big industry nationwide.
"Protein diets are popular," he said. "I see many body builders who often go on protein diets in order to lose weight and strengthen their muscles."
Kara Stodghill, Overland Park freshman, said she avoided protein diets because she knew they weren't safe.
"I think protein diets are great for short-term effects," she said. "But in the long run, they are detrimental to your health because they break down body tissues, including muscle."
